Struggle in Soviet Russia

Rising up from the bed, Victor turned on the lamp on the bedside table, pulled up the slippers beside the bed, and walked quickly to the window.

Outside the window, the gusty wind was violent, and looking towards the tree-shade in the distance, nothing could be seen, and in the parking lot downstairs, the lights seemed to be darkened by the gusty wind.

This is a sign of heavy rain, but the rain has not yet arrived at this moment.

Closing the window, isolating the violent thunder and lightning from the window, Victor turned around, picked up a few newspapers that had been blown to the ground by the wind, and put them on the bed. Then he saw a glass of water on the bedside table.

Needless to say, this should be prepared by Sophia for him. He has the habit of drinking a glass of water every day after waking up.

Looking at the watch, it was already 12:30 in the middle of the night, and he actually slept more than once at the right time.

In the past, I touched the cup. The water was still warm. It shouldn't be long before it was poured. If there is no accident, Sophia should have not left either. It is estimated that she had fallen asleep in her office.

After drank the warm water in the glass, feeling the hot throat a little more comfortable, Victor went to the ensuite bathroom.

Perhaps due to the coming summer, there is an unpleasant smell in the bathroom. If nothing else, there should be a problem with the design of the sewer. There is no elbow under the floor drain, so that the smell in the sewer can come up. .

As Victor was washing his face, he considered that he should tell Comrade Feijing when he turned his head, and let him arrange for someone to modify the sewers here.

After a brief wash, leaving the lounge in pajamas, Victor went directly to the office.

He walked to the desk and sat down, reached out his hand for the green phone, and called the staff on duty in the Secretariat, asking them to prepare a supper for himself.

He didn't eat two meals at noon and night. He really feels hungry now. Before he was awakened by thunder instead of being awakened by thunder.

After the phone call, Victor leaned back on the chair and let out a long sigh, then his eyes fell on a schedule in front of the desk.

Nowadays, Victor’s itinerary has two copies. One is a large itinerary. The secretariat is responsible for determining the meetings or activities he must attend every day during the next week.

The other is a small itinerary, which Sofia is responsible for, mainly to determine his specific itinerary for the next day.

The one on the table is the large itinerary submitted by the Secretariat, which identifies the meetings and activities he must attend next week.

Victor leaned over, stretched out his hand to open the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and looked down at the schedule.

On this itinerary, what needs his special attention is next Wednesday morning. According to the regulations on the itinerary, he needs to accompany Comrade Serov to the Grand Kremlin to attend the hearing of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Soviet Union at 9 a.m. next Wednesday. Give a detailed explanation to all members of the Politburo on the case of "Measures to Improve Overseas Work of Various Organs of the Soviet National Security Committee."

"Measures to improve the work abroad of the various organs of the Soviet National Security Committee" is the title of the report previously submitted by Victor. Since the hearing on this report is scheduled next Wednesday, and the organizer is the Political Bureau of the CPSU Central Committee This shows that the Politburo members, including Comrade Stalin, attach great importance to Victor’s report.

Although during the war, all state power belongs to the People’s Committee of National Defense, the Politburo of the Central Committee is always a special existence. After all, the People’s Committee of National Defense is also under the leadership of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Will change.

Victor estimated that this itinerary should have been issued this afternoon. When the comrade in the Secretariat contacted the People's Committee of National Security, he was probably still asleep, so he didn't know about it.

To be honest, Victor has been submitting this report for a long time. Before that, he thought it was out of play. Who would have thought it would be delayed until now before giving a reply.

Similar to this kind of report, there is a process for submission. The report is first submitted to the People's Committee, and then submitted to the Secretariat of the CPSU Central Committee by the People's Committee.

In other words, the whole process has reached the present step. According to the pass rate, it should be considered as having passed 80%. However, the last pass is not so easy, because as the submitter of the report, Victor needs to directly face the questions of several Politburo members.

Fortunately, Comrade Beria is not yet a member of the Politburo. He is only the deputy commissar of the People’s Committee and chairman of the People’s Committee of the Interior. Victor doesn’t have to worry about this guy creating obstacles to himself.

But even if this is the case, the preparations that should be done must be in place to avoid being questioned by a member of the committee and failing to come to the stage.

Don’t underestimate this hearing. Once passed, the overall status of the People’s Committee for National Security will be improved qualitatively. The Central Supervisory Commission is almost a parallel department.

It is currently a war period, and there is still a People’s Committee for National Defense. When the war is over and the establishment of the People’s Committee for National Defense is cancelled, the People’s Committee for National Security has become a department directly led by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet. It's - the "Science and Technology Approval Department" in the middle does not have power and functions, it is just an auxiliary department.

Putting the schedule aside, Victor drew a pen from the pen holder and frowned while playing with it in his hand. He needs to consider the key focus of the future foreign intelligence work, which can also be said to be the key penetration direction.

Thanks to the memory of his past life, Victor does not need information from the intelligence department in this matter, he still has something in his mind.

After thinking for a moment, he took a letterhead from the corner of the table, put it on hand, and wrote: "Cambridge, Cavendish Lab."

In Victor's previous life, this British laboratory was undoubtedly the world's top physics laboratory. Its research results in astrophysics, particle physics, solid state physics, and biophysics were unmatched. The entire laboratory has produced 29 Nobel Prize winners in more than 80 years.

According to the memory of his previous life, Victor listed on the letterhead the research projects that this laboratory may be currently doing, and their future application fields, and what he highlighted is the laboratory’s research in radio electronics. Progress, these things are all concerned by the members of the Politburo.

It is not an easy task to write down all the things in the memory and form a systematic report. Victor worked it out for nearly half an hour, and finally finished this one, almost at the same time, gently. The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in," replied without looking up, and Victor went on to write on the letterhead, "Bell Labs."

The door opened, and Sophia, wearing a white nightdress, walked in with a tray.

Seeing that Victor hadn't raised his head, she walked to the desk and put the tray in her hand on the table. Then, she walked around the desk and stood beside Victor, looking down at what he had written on the letterhead.

Victor's attention is all on the memory. In his opinion, Bell Labs should be the absolute focus of the future intelligence work.

The reason is simple. In the ongoing research in this laboratory, there is an epoch-making invention-the transistor. This invention that replaced the electronic tube has greatly promoted the development of electronic technology.

In addition, you can count the inventions launched by this laboratory: transistors, single-chip microcomputers, solar cells, laser applications, UNIX operating systems, C language, large-scale integrated circuits, communication satellites... it is not too much, and many of them They are all epoch-making technologies, and they belong to the kind of thing that promotes the progress of human society.

"Take a rest," the soft voice in his ear interrupted Victor's thoughts, "eat something first, or it will be cold for a while."

Victor came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced, only to find Sophia standing next to him.

He buckled the pen, put it aside, and smiled and asked, "When did you come?"

Sophia didn't answer, just snarled at the tray on the table.

"Hehe, I didn't pay attention," Victor put aside the letter paper on the table, then pulled the tray over and laughed, "I asked them to prepare a supper for me, why did you wake you up?"

"I haven't slept yet," Sophia leaned close to him, sat on the arm of his chair, and said while holding the letter paper over, "the thunder is so loud that I can't sleep."

Victor turned his head subconsciously and glanced at the window behind him, only to find that the rain was torrential outside the window, and the window glass seemed to be frosted.

"What's this written?" Sophia asked curiously, looking at the content on the letterhead.

"For some time to come, the foreign intelligence agencies will need key infiltration targets," Victor reached out and stopped Sophia's slender waist, while burying his face in front of her plump chest, inhaling deeply, and said vaguely.

"Right, I received a notice from the Secretariat of the Central Committee in the afternoon," Sophia grabbed his head, put his chin on top of his head, and said, "Next Wednesday, I need you and Comrade Serov to attend the Politburo hearing."

"I have seen the schedule," Victor said with his teeth on the front button of Sophia's pajamas.

"Does this mean that your report passed?" Sophia asked in a low voice.

As Victor's great secretary, of course she knew about the report, and she also knew the significance of the report.
